CCB and ACRE (Action with Communities in Rural England) has been working with Smart Energy GB since September 2016 to help promote the roll out of smart meters to households off mains gas. Smart meters are the new generation of electricity meters, replacing traditional meters in homes across the country.
They send automatic readings directly and securely to the energy supplier, and have a display that shows exactly how much energy is being used and how much it costs, in near to real time.
By 2020 the Government wants every household in Britain to be offered a smart meter, and by the end of 2020 it’s estimated that 53 million will be fitted on more than 30 million premises. ACRE and CCB as the Rural Community Council for Berkshire is working in partnership with Smart Energy GB’s national campaign to rural households off mains gas are aware of Smart Meters and how to obtain one.
Smart Energy GB will work with ACRE to provide information on smart meters through:• promotional events to enable rural communities to learn more about the rollout of smart meters • creating materials to provide information about the rollout of smart meters to off gas grid residents • providing training for community volunteers about how they can inform their communities, particularly those who are not on the gas mains supply, about the benefits of smart meters
As part of the rollout both CCB and Smart Energy GB are keen to measure the impact of the campaign and see how it can be improved. If you have a few minutes to complete the survey: please click here.
